My printer has been having problems where it seems very smushed and then it like creates build ups and fails most of the time. i’ve tried all the leveling options liek z offset and bed mesh. it only works when i manually change the z offset every print but still isn’t consistent because th next print it gets slightly worse and its a cycle

Sovol has auto zoffsetcalibration locate in several macros… i manually set my zoffset, than i find and change/comment the auto zoffset in start\_print and bed\_mesh\_calibrate macros locate in macros.cfg..
